A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he has admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
                As Graduation day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a nice son. He handed handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible.
               Angrily he said, "With all your money, you gave me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy book.
               Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him.
               He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father has passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, as he has left it a years ago. With tears, he opened the holy book, and began to turn on the pages.
               As he read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he has desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words....Paid in full.
